Occurrences
Promoting precision agriculture: (Includes provisions from H.R. 1985, Promoting Precision Agriculture Act, introduced by Congressman Davis) Establishes a partnership between the federal government and the private sector to create voluntary interconnectivity standards. Prioritizes the cybersecurity needs for precision agriculture technologies.
Advancing technologies that expand the capacity, efficiency, and security of the agrifood system.
Evidence
Davis and Tracey Mann reintroduced H.R. 1985, a bill to create voluntary interconnectivity standards and prioritize cybersecurity for precision agriculture technologies.
Assessments
Davis took concrete action on this promise by reintroducing H.R. 1985 to create voluntary interconnectivity standards and prioritize cybersecurity for precision agriculture technologies, which closely matches the substance of the pledge. But the available evidence shows sponsorship and advancement of legislation, not enactment or implemented federal policy. In a federal legislative context, that is meaningful progress but not full delivery of the promised outcome.
